I'm afraid your NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M mobile video card is below the published minimum requirement, the desktop Geforce 620. It has a driver from 2016 which will never have any more updates from nVidia.

Has the game ever run on this machine, or never yet?

Please attach here the latest (ONLY!) game log file, from here:
C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\logs\
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.
 
Hi and thanks for your reply,

i attached the log-file, but I don't think there is much information there.
I had never installed the game on my computer before as I just bought it now.
Regards

That logs stops at the point of detecting the video system, so I'm fairly sure that is the problem here.

Unless you have access to a machine with supoorted hardware, please seek a refund from wherever you bought it.

Sorry about that!
